It’s time to talk pills and thrills! Well, not those kinds of pills… This week on Hide and Seek, we’re delving into the world of STIs with Michael Traeger from the Burnet Institute. We’re chatting about Doxy PEP, the little pill that could change the game in STI prevention.

Join us as we discuss transforming the landscape of sexual health for gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men. From the ins and outs (pun intended!) of how to take Doxy to the nitty-gritty on potential side effects, we’re leaving no stone unturned. Michael breaks down the recently released consensus statement by ASHM, giving you the lowdown on what’s hot and what’s not in the world of Doxy-PEP.

This episode was recorded on the lands of the Yalukut Weelam clan of the Boon Wurrung peoples. We pay our respects to their elders, past, present and emerging, and acknowledge that sovereignty was never ceded.
